[Req] tun.ko for Epic stock kernel (DI18 and EB13)

Hello - I am attempting to connect to a cisco vpn using the instructions here but have run into a "common" problem- I copied a post over on the EVO forum- I have exactly the same problem- could some one help me out to compile a tun.ko that is compatible with the current stock kernel- thanks in advance!!! The instructions are found here
I am attempting to get vpnc (for cisco vpn) working on the epic but have run into a snag getting the tun.ko module loaded. When I attempt to insmod tun.ko I get exec format error and dmesg yields
tun: version magic '2.6.32.9-27220-g328f560 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.29-a2443432 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
I found an excellent post (#12) by sjakub at hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630703&page=2
which describes step by step how to overcome this but unfortunately I have no access to linux in order to attempt this myself.
Would anyone be kind enough to compile the proper file for please?
Thanks very much.

Does this work?

tun-DI18.zip

Thanks- will try it a soon as I get home!
EDIT: I did not receive any errors with your file- I will report back as soon as I try to connect to VPN!

I was able to insmod it, but my modem is down at home so I can't start my VPN.
I'll be jumping for joy if this works, I beat my head against the wall trying to find a good tun.ko for DI18 a few days back.

And I'm tunneled in. Seems to be working but I'm having trouble getting my traffic to route right so far, but I doubt that's related to the tun.ko.
Thanks a ton!

Mkasick- thanks again for the tun.ko!!! After some troubleshooting (I needed to append a domain setting) I got it to work!!!!!
Can you please set up a way to donate to you- I would like to buy you a beer! I was going to ask for a kernel that automatically loads tun.ko but the vpn_connections apk seems to do it automatically
thanks again for you help!!!!

I appreciate the gratitude. Unfortunately I think it would take me far longer to figure out how to setup donations than it did to compile the module. So, in the meantime, enjoy a beer yourself as a "thanks" to me.

Thank you for this
I have been waiting for this too. Now I need to generate an OpenVPN configuration for our ssl VPN.
I registered just so I could download this module.

I must be doing something wrong because when I try to insmod I get init_module 'tun.ko' failed (Exec format error). I'm at 2.1-update1, 2.6.29, and SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18 so guess I'm not holding my mouth right.

I decided to try and copy the file over again and this time it worked so something must have happened during the transfer the first time.

How does one "install" this module? I have the Xtreme 1.0.1 kernel and I ran "insmod -v tun.ko" and it seems to stop the FC on the cisco ipsec vpn. But the module does not survive a reboot. I'm guessing I need to recompile it into the kernel? Can someone post some steps on how to do that?
Also, when using the vpn, after hitting connect, it immediately says failed. I'm not sure if that's because I didn't get tun.ko installed correctly, or just bad credential.

you all rock
first time poster, short time lurker...just started flashing my droid a few weeks ago, and am now also playing with an epic.
just wanted to comment on how much i liked this thread, even though i understand, uh, not much of it. you all rock! keep up the open source mentality and for my part i'll keep purchasing/donating for things i enjoy using. And hefting beers for all of you

droid is currently running UD 2.0 with Chevy 1.25 low voltage kernel - fast and awesome!! quadrant in the 1100s
epic currently using syndicate fully loaded 1.0.2 but also tried and liked the froyo betas... quadrant = 1207

Kernel module
Having the tun.ko file alone might not work. For example, I have a Desire HD. I extracted the kernel config from /proc/config.gz and saw that the TUN/TAP module was not even included in the kernel as a module (M). Correct me if I'm wrong but if the kernel isn't even compiled for support for a module, the module will not load even if you try to load the tun.ko module using insmod/modprobe. Your kernel either needs to have the module selected as (M) or (Y) - if you want it buit-in.
Therefore, I had to:
(1) grab the Desire HD sources from http://developer.htc.com
(2) extract the config for that kernel from /proc/config.gz
(3) Also get hold of the android ndk compiler for x-platform compilation for the arm architecture.
(4) compile the kernel sources using that config file in (2) but also with support for tun.ko as a module (m). You can do this with the command 'make menuconfig' in the kernel sources dir. The kernel sources I grabbed from the url above from htc seemed to have a few files missing. One of them was the ntrig.c file, which I got from the main android kernel sources instead.
(5) Once I got them compiled, this generated the kernel as bZimage a few modules (including tun.ko).
(6) For me the next issue was to get the kernel on my device because unless you have a bootloader than ignores signatures on the kernel, you won't be able to upload your new kernel.
(7) I flashed my bootloader to clockworkmod. Used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805327
(8) once i unlocked the bootloader I issued a 'fastboot flash zimage zImage' (my compiled version of the kernel)
(9) Uploaded the tun.ko too and did an insmod to loads tun.ko and it worked.

You don't, you have to "insmod" it on every reboot.

You can compile a kernel with the tun driver built-in, so you don't need to rely on an external module. But it's tougher to keep up with kernel updates that way. Ask in the thread of your favorite kernel where to obtain the source and instructions for compiling it.

That's not the case. The kernel does need to be compiled with general module support, but this will always be the case since the Epic uses a fair number of proprietary driver modules.
Setting a particular driver to be compiled as a module (=m) in the kernel config simply means the module, and any of its dependencies, are built alongside the kernel. The kernel itself is the same in either case, unless the module requires a kernel option/driver that can't be compiled as a module, which is rare these days, but was more common in Linux 2.4 and earlier.
In any event, the tun.ko posted here does work with stock DI18.
Edit: There is an issue when you try to compile a driver module that requires an option to be enabled in a different driver that's built-in to the kernel you're using but is currently disabled. I can't think of a good example of such at the moment, but I think I have ran into it in the past.

It's obvious I'm no linux or android expert by any means. I have no clue how to compile a kernel or recompile a module. So all this talk about recompiling is way over my head.
I'm just trying to connect to a IPSec vpn server using vpnc client (http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/). Currently running Epic Experience rom and the latest Xtreme kernel. Everytime I tried to connect, it fails immediately. I've verified my credentials are correct, so I don't know what else I can do except wait for CM 6 to come out for the Epic.

I'm not familiar with that particular program, but you can get a better idea of what's going wrong with a logcat dump.
For example, your credentials might be correct, but your phone might still have difficulty resolving the server, negotiating the connection, etc.

Thanks for the help. I tried logcat and the authentication part seems to be ok, this is what happens after the authentication:
D/VPN_Connections(29594): done interacting with vpnc
D/VPN_Connections(29594): process stderr:
D/VPN_Connections(29594): Read vpnc process line as null
D/VPN_Connections(29594): Attempt to read vpnc process id did not return anything
D/VPN_Connections(29594): process had died, return as failed connection
It doesn't tell me much, but maybe it means something to you.

I would guess you need a tun.ko specifically for that kernel you are using (Xtreme)- maybe its best to go back to stock- use the tun.ko in this thread and see if you can get it to work?

My setup with Ubuntu and a custom permissive Kernel

Hey everyone. I bought this device specifically because I do a lot of work on linux in command line world and I though it would be the perfect device when combined with the Logitech Pro keyboard and Complete Linux Installer (it's an app on Google Play). It turned out to be quite a bit of work getting everything working because of Knox and SELinux. Eventually I got a custom kernel working that allows me to toggle SELinux between permissive and enforcing.
I attached an Odin flashable tar that works on the SM-P900 (wifi version). I am on the North American version, so I have no idea whether it will work in other regions. If you flash this kernel then there are a few things you need to know:
I'm assuming you already have root on your device.
When you boot it will still be in "Enforcing" mode. This change simply allows you to use the "setenforce" terminal command or any of the apps on Google Play that do this for you.
You might experience some wifi weirdness after you flash the kernel. You just need to open up /system/build.prop and change ro.securestorage.support from true to false and then reboot to resolve the issue.
If you have a different version of the device or want to compile it yourself for any reason I wrote an article describing how I compiled it here:
http://graemehill.ca/compiling-permissive-android-kernel/
I also did a few other things to fix the keyboard and get linux running properly, so if you're interested in that I described my setup in more detail here:

It looks like you're in Windows. To my knowledge it is not possible to compile a Linux kernel in windows. I would recommend downloading virtual box and installing some Linux distro in there. This is what I was talking about in the "environment" section at the top of the article.
For android development I find that you need access to a lot of tools where some are only available on Windows and others are only available on Linux so a Windows PC with a Linux VM is ideal in my opinion.

Oh ok, no problem. I just misread the guide. I've setup a build environment in a vm before to compile aosp for my Nexus 10. Shouldn't be too hard to do it again. I recently rebuilt my pc so the vm I had got nuked.

When you export a variable in the terminal it only exists for that one session, so if you open a new terminal instance you need to run the command again. If you want to set it permanently normally you can just put the export command into ~/.bashrc

Oh I see. I'll give that a try. I was able to create a new boot.img following the rest of your guide. I have yet to try flashing it though. Will have to find some info about all the kernel options that can be set. Hopefully be able to integrate HMP to get all eight cores running at the same time.

Cool, let us know how that goes. I wonder how much it would affect battery life.

I tried to install this using VBox Odin and I couldnt get it to work. Tried using BOOTLOADER and also PDA. Not sure the correct one but neither worked for me. Also, Moblie ODin hasnt yet worked but when it does, things will be much easier for me at least.
I have a newly rooted SM-900. I will have to find time someday to compile the kernel against what I have. Must be a slightly newer version than the one you posted. That is only thing I can think since I just got my 12.2. Thanks for the detailed info.

Camera?
Hey, thanks for the great kernel. It's working as expected to enable permissive mode, but I'm having one issue with it. When I use your kernel, the camera is disabled (says something like "Camera Failed"), and it won't work even when trying different software besides stock, like Google Camera. Anyway, clearing cache, etc. doesn't do anything, but the camera works again when I flash the stock kernel. Is this related to permissive mode or something else with the settings?

The camera fails for me too. I dumped a logcat and isolated the issue here:
W/ActivityManager( 2746): Permission Denial: get/set setting for user asks to run as user -2 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
V/ApplicationPolicy( 2746): isApplicationStateBlocked userId 0 pkgname com.google.android.GoogleCamera
But... the camera is not a huge deal. It did, however, break wifi. I did not get a logcat of that yet, but I would assume it is also a permission issue.

Wifi works for me using the fix mentioned in the OP. Also, thanks for looking into the camera issue. I agree it's not a big deal, and it's easily fixed by flashing the stock kernel, until someone figures out a proper fix.

Wow, I totally missed that entire line in the OP... You literally just made my whole day. I fought this all day long, desperate to get ubuntu working. Thank you for pointing that out.

I get "xt_mark.h" is missing (no such file or directory) error. Any idea why that may be?
I'm using the source for p900 international hoping that I may sidestep the camera issue that way (by enabling permissive to the international kernel I mean), but as it stands it does not compile.
I've googled it but until now it was/is to no avail...

Hey Graeme H,
we both have the same intention. I am downloading the international Kernel at the moment and will compile it again for you guys. The download takes a little longer as I am at vacations.
I am going this route: doviak.net/debian-kit/debian-kit_p00.html . In the future I would like to have arch linux running on this device but a customized debian would be okay for the beginning, too.
Eventually I will try to use framebuffer instead of vnc or something like that. I would love to use sublime-text and dwm on that device with that resolution
Good luck guys. I will try to update.
Edit: hehe I have dwm in front of me now and the resolution is so high that I am barely able to read
Compiled the kernel and flashed in on my device but my camera is still not working. Maybe we need to edit the config:

Kali Linux on Android Note 3 - unable

Hi all , is over a week i'm trying to install Kali on Galaxi note 3.
I'm starting to think there is no way to do it.
I have Samsung Galaxi note 3 model SM-N9005 , bought in Uk.
Rooted .
i mount a rom called C-Rom KK
Selinux Status permissive
i tried linux installer , linux deploy , and another tool to instal linux
i have to install Kali...
Please is there anyone can help me ?

use the Kali 1.0.6 custom image for the Samsung note 10.1, that works for me. download from the official Kali site and extract the image, then copy onto your microsd card. the image when uncompressed is almost 7gb so in order to support that your microsd will need to be formatted in something that isn't FAT32 and supports the large file size, like exfat.
now go into Linux deploy and configure the settings so it says Kali Linux, ext4 file system, type is file (path to Kali img on your SD card), enable vnc and ssh if you want, set image file size to at least 8000mb, username android (though i use root just fine), and then update the configuration. then hit start to deploy the image, open a VNC or SSH client and log in! sorry if I left anything out, hope that works for you.

Hi ,I am happy to announce the solution of the problem of installation of Kali on Galaxiy notes 3​​.
The factory rom does not allow linux deploy to work properly at least on my galaxy note 3.
The problem I think is the kernel.
Important: this information is for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model SM-N9005
I installed another rom, the BobCatRom and I updated the kernel.
This is the link .....galaxynote3root.com/sm-n9005-galaxy-note-3-roms/bobcat-rom-compulsion-kernel-for-galaxy-note-3/
At the end oe installation , SElinux is permissive, and Linux Deploy works well.

Hi , if you keep installed the fabric rom i think you cannot change kernel version as well.
I don't know if knox is blocking the SELinux status, but problably is stopping from changing kernel and rom version.
I rooted my galaxy note 3 and now my knox is 0x1 (damn!)
you can try , after have a full back up , to install a new rom and change kernel.

Linux deploy causes reboot.

Hi
I want to use linux deploy app on my s7 edge. When I click on on install in my linux deploy app after configuring a container, phone powers off about 10 seconds after that and then I have to manually reboot it. Any fix for that? And before it powers off it totally freeses. Not just the app but whole phone. It does not even react to physical buttons anymore.

Anyone?

unfortunately, I have same problem. I doubt meefik reads this thread though

Same issue here, post on his github page. Which Linux packages are you trying to run?
I suggest if debian has the repo for it to run gnuroot debian. It works the same but no root required. Since you are rooted you change selinux to permissive which allows more functions
